BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transferring a belt-like body, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for transferring a belt-like body to a roller or the like provided in a processing apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A long strip such as a lead frame is continuously processed by a processing apparatus such as a plating apparatus or an etching apparatus. Such processing is performed while pulling out a long belt-like body from a wound reel.
When the strip wound around the reel is pulled out and finished, it is necessary to perform an exchanging operation for exchanging with a new reel, but the exchanging operation of the reel can be performed without stopping the continuously operating processing apparatus. It would be advantageous if it could be done.
For this reason, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228561 proposes a belt-like member splicing device capable of exchanging reels without stopping the processing device.

[0004]
In Patent Document 1, a splicing device shown in FIG. 5 is proposed. In this splicing device, the belt-like body 102 is supported on the outer periphery and vertically moved in the vertical position at an intermediate position where the belt-like body 102 is hung between the processing device 100 and the delivery device 105 that feeds the belt-like body 102 from the reel 104. A roller 106 that is freely supported by the support frame 108 is provided, and the roller 106 is moved from the upper position to the lower position in a state in which the belt 102 is supported, and the slack of the belt 102 that is released during the movement. A lifting / lowering means for the roller 106 is provided for joining the belt-like body 102 using the minutes.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the splicing device shown in FIG. 5, the reel 104 can be exchanged without stopping the processing device 100, and continuous processing can be performed efficiently.
However, in recent years, when the processing speed of the processing apparatus 100 is increased, in the splicing apparatus shown in FIG. 5, in order to secure time for splicing the strip 102 when replacing the reel, The slack of the belt-like body 102 that is released while moving from the upper position to the lower position 106 must be ensured, and the high-speed processing apparatus 100 is becoming unable to cope with it.
On the other hand, it is conceivable to reduce the processing speed of the processing apparatus 100 when exchanging the reels. However, if only the processing speed is reduced while the processing conditions of the processing apparatus 100 are high speed conditions, the product during that time will be defective. I have to treat it.
In addition, when the reel is replaced, changing the processing condition to the low speed condition together with the reduction in the processing speed of the processing apparatus 100 is not practical because the work becomes complicated.
[0006]
For this reason, in the processing apparatus 100 that has been increased in speed, a dummy strip having a predetermined length is joined in advance to the end of the strip 102 wound around the reel 104, and one end of the dummy strip is a product of the processing apparatus 100. When transported to the outlet, the processing apparatus 100 is temporarily stopped, one end of the strip 102 pulled out from the new reel 104 is spliced to the other end of the dummy strip, and the processing apparatus 100 is restarted. Has been done.
However, when a dummy strip is used, it is necessary to connect the dummy strip in advance to the end of the strip 102, and the stop time of the processing apparatus 100 needs attention, so that the reel replacement operation becomes complicated.
On the other hand, when exchanging reels without using a dummy strip, when the strip 102 wound around the reel 104 is used up, the processing apparatus 100 is temporarily stopped and then pulled out from the new reel 104. Is transferred to a roller or the like in the processing apparatus 100, and the processing apparatus 100 is restarted. The transfer operation for transferring the belt-like body 102 to the rollers or the like in the processing apparatus 100 that has been stopped is a complicated operation, and is conventionally performed manually and requires time. For this reason, even if it uses the processing apparatus 100 speeded up, the processing efficiency of the strip | belt-shaped body 102 falls.
However, if it is possible to easily and quickly carry out the work of passing the belt-like body 102 over the roller or the like in the processing apparatus 100 once stopped, the reel replacement work of the speed-up of the processing apparatus 100 can be changed to the dummy belt-like body. Compared with the case of using, it can carry out easily and rapidly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a belt-like body passing device and a method for passing a belt-like body easily and quickly to a roller or the like in a processing apparatus that is once stopped.
